This assertion despite a scathing report from the DOD IG finding only partial compliance with the establishment of voting assistance offices as required by federal law and single digit participation rates of military members and their family members.
At the website, Jessie Jane Duff, Gunnery Sergeant, USMC (Ret) and member of the
Concerned Veterans for America’s organizing committee said the

“Our military remain the most disenfranchised voting
group in the United States today. Our leaders in Washington face big
challenges with the $16 trillion national debt, runaway spending and a
struggling economy. Compared to those problems, this one should be an
easy fix (to say nothing of the right thing to do). All they have to do
is set up an office and add a piece of paper to the pile when a service
member checksvideo.
